Publisher's description
From Photo Enhancer :Email Address Encryptor will hide your e-mail address from spammers while keeping it visible to your visitors. Email Address Encryptor will encrypt every e-mail address in every HTML file it finds in a folder on your computer. No limit to the number of times or number of pages it can be used on. Email Address Encryptor uses in-line encryption to encrypt both text and image links. Your e-mail address will be visible to all visitors and invisible to spiders. No JavaScript required; some surfers turn JavaScript off. If you use JavaScript to encrypt your e-mail address, some of your visitors will not see it. No installation or uninstall programs required.
CNET Editor's Note: The free version only encrypts the e-mail addresses in the first HTML file it finds in a folder.

Version: Email Address Encryptor 2.0
"The encryption code is simple but very effective."
Pros: I own several rather sophisticated email spider programs (for security testing) and could not detect a single email on my own websites.
Very impressive! I tried all the rest and found my email addresses, but not with
"Email Address Encryptor". I don't know how, but the simple code works.

Version: Email Address Encryptor 2.0
"It does NOT hide your email address from spammers."
Cons: The program's encryption uses elementary URL encoding. Almost every spam bot can break through this. The author claims, "There is no way a WebCrawler will recognize [it] as an email address." This is untrue. While it looks encrypted to YOU, it does not look encrypted to a bot. Those numbers directly correlate to individual letters. To a bot, that string of numbers (that looks complex to you) is the same thing as a string of letters (that looks like an email to you). Bots can decode these strings just as easily as it read a regular string of letters. Don't believe me? Search for 'HTML encoding' in Google and look at the first result - this webpage shows how simple the correlation between codes like %41 and the letter 'A' are. Using this, you could decode the string yourself. But, the author claims a spam bot could not. Consider if your web browser can decode all that stuff into an email, then a spammer bot surely can. The program's purpose of hiding your email address is completely flawed. The program does NOT hide your email address. To advertise it as such is horribly misleading. It serves only to give its users a false sense of security.

Version: Email Address Encryptor 2.0
"Great, works instantly without flaw"
Summary: Instantly encodes a whole directory full of files with email address. Mail links still work perfectly but the MailTo: code is just a jumble of special characters that spammers cannot decode. Simple, effective, cheap, elegant.
